About Alexa
Alexa Melo is a force to be reckoned with, and her entire life revolves around music and entertaining. When she was 3 years old, Alexa would dance and sing to the music that her mother would play on the radio. It was something she couldn't contain, and she would perform for anyone who would give her the opportunity. Alexa's first solo performance came at the age of five, for Disney Under the Stars. As she left the stage to a standing ovation, Alexa looked at her mom and said "I felt free on the stage." It was then and there that she knew entertaining was her calling, and it's what she needed to devote her life to. When she turned 6 she recorded her first demo. That same year Alexa won her first talent show, and hasn't looked back. She's won every competition she's ever entered.
At 9 years old, a producer from the Maury Povich show spotted her and invited Alexa to perform in front of a national television audience. At 10 Alexa was selected to perform on America's Most Talented Kids' season finale Diva Special. She might have been the youngest contestant by several years, but Alexa knocked em dead and out-shined the pack, winning the "Diva Special" Finale Episode. It was then when she started writing her first of hundreds of songs. While still 10, Alexa and her mom left behind their family, their house, and their pets (including a potbelly pig) back in Boston in order to pursue Alexa's dream of performing. Alexa immediately booked her first guest starring role on Showtime's "Sleeper Cell." She's since appeared in a myriad of print ads and commercials.
Alexa attends Camp Pop Hollywood and Young Actors Studio, both on scholarship. She had her own internet radio program called 'Keeping it Melo', and produces a weekly webisode series entitled "Simply Alexa", seen by several hundred viewers each week . At age 13 she picked up an acoustic guitar and hasn't put it down since. She taught herself how to play by watching youtube videos since the family didn't have money for lessons and now her song-writing is done with her guitar. Alexa is currently working with Geffen Records. She is so excited to be recording songs that she has written herself.
